Setting up Tomcat in nginx proxy

Question

I'm setting up my web server and I need to run tomcat on http://ip/tomcat/ instead of http://ip:8080/ . How I can do this on nginx? I've tried to find an answer in the internet, but all of them is useless for me.

My nginx configuration:

upstream tomcat {
    server ip:8080;
}

server {

        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        server_name _;

        location /tomcat/ {
                proxy_pass http://tomcat;
        }

}

Answer 1

Use below reverse proxy and test.

location /tomcat/ {
                proxy_pass http://tomcat/;
        }

Note: In IP address you need to use tomcat IP.

Answer 2

You can use /tomcat/ location with using below tag.

location /tomcat/ {
                proxy_pass http://tomcat/;
        }

When you are going to access manager page it opens http://IP/manager instead of http://IP/tomcat/manager cause /manager/html is harded in tomcat webapps/ROOT/index.jsp

<div class="button">
                        <a class="container shadow" href="/manager/html"><span>Manager App</span></a>
                    </div>

If you want to access manager through tomcat location then change below code in tomcat ROOT/index.jsp

<div class="button">
                        <a class="container shadow" href="/tomcat/manager/html"><span>Manager App</span></a>
                    </div>

Restart tomcat and test.
